It is stated that there is an 800 percent increase in the price of the hacked CRV. So what really happened at this stage? Let’s look at the details
Exchanges react to altcoin CRV hack
Late yesterday, the CRV hack shook the world of DeFi. On the other hand, it caused a short-term panic in Bitcoin and altcoins. Altcoin CRV price dropped to $0.57 on Binance with the hack. In some exchanges, the decline was up to $ 0.1.
Following the attack on CRV, exchanges suspended CRV deposits and withdrawals. There were also interesting price movements on some exchanges due to the lack of altcoin CRV liquidity. Following the suspension of withdrawals and deposits, the CRV price started trading at high premiums on South Korea-based cryptocurrency exchanges Bithumb and Upbit.
